In this first bonus episode, we step beyond the showgirl’s story to explore the bigger picture of Taylor's reception as an artist. 

I’m sharing an essay I wrote that’s been getting a lot of attention on Substack about why some art—like Taylor Swift’s songwriting—is dismissed as “popular,” while other work—like Shakespeare's plays—is celebrated as “serious” or "literary." It's about artistic hierarchies, who gets to decide which art is considered important, and what those decisions say about who we are as a society. 

You can see the piece (including citations) and join the conversation over on Substack.
